Sport, heat and minerals: why in summer your body needs more than just water
Summer is made for activity. Morning runs, cycling, hiking, swimming, or tennis – the sun beckons us outdoors. But with rising temperatures comes the increased need to replenish not only fluids but also minerals that the body loses through sweating. That's why it's crucial to think about hydration and the proper balance of minerals.
In summer, we sweat more than we realize
Half an hour of running, a brisk hike, or an afternoon cycling is enough for the body to start intensely cooling itself down by sweating.
However, along with water, important minerals are also lost.
The higher the temperature, the longer the activity, or the more intense the sport, the greater these losses are.
Many people, meanwhile, only focus on how much water they drink. But water alone may not always be everything the body needs after physical exertion.
Why are minerals important?
Minerals are involved in a variety of natural processes in the body.
They help maintain proper fluid balance, participate in muscle activity, the nervous system, and other functions of the human body.
Therefore, it is especially important during hot days and sports activities to pay increased attention to their replenishment.
Carlsbad Thermal Spring Salt – natural minerals from Karlovy Vary
Carlsbad Thermal Spring Salt is created by evaporating mineral water from the famous Hot Spring (Vřídlo) in Karlovy Vary.
It contains natural minerals characteristic of this unique natural source and has been part of traditional spa drinking cures for centuries.
Today, it is still used by people who want to support their hydration and digestive care not only at home, but also while traveling or with an active lifestyle.
When will you appreciate it the most?
After running or cycling
After prolonged physical activity, the body needs to replenish fluids and return to balance. This is when it's important to think not only about water but also about minerals.
On a hike or in the mountains
A full-day trip, high temperatures, and several hours of movement can lead to significant fluid loss.
By the sea
You might feel like you're just relaxing on a lounge chair. But high temperatures, sun, and swimming increase sweating even without sports.
After a sporting performance
Tennis, beach volleyball, paddleboarding, or soccer with friends. Any movement in summer weather puts a greater strain on the body than during cooler months.
Drinking is not enough
Proper hydration isn't just about the amount of water.
Regularity, sufficient fluid intake throughout the day, and a balanced diet also play a big role.
If you play sports, travel, or spend a lot of time outdoors, it pays to think about your hydration even more.
